Referring more particularly to the drawings, 5 denotes the body of the cart, 6 and 7 the front and rear axles, and 8 and 9 the respective front and rear wheels therefor.

The body 5, is supported at its front and.

Therear portion ofthe wagonbody is supported upon the rear axle 7, by means of legs 31, depending from opposite sides of the body 5, and secured thereto by bolts 32. The lower portions of the legs 31 are curved upwardly and, rearwardly to form a pocket or recesstQ, in which the axle is partially seated, and the lower extremity of each leg is formed with an upwardly curved reduced extension 33. Straps 34, one for each leg 31, are secured to the wagon body by bolts 35, and extend downwardly and rearwardly therefrom, the upwardly curved ends of these strapsextending beneath and partially around the rear axle adjacent the points of engagement between the rear axle and the legs 31.- These straps 34, are apertured as at 36 to receive the reduced extensions 33, previously referred to.

In assembling the parts, the extension 33 is inserted in the position illustrated in Figure 4 of the drawing, before the upper end of the straps. 34 are secured to the wagon body by bolts 35. When these bolts are tightened up, it will be seen that the extremity of the straps 34:,will rest uponthe reduced extensions 33, and the curved portions of the straps 34: will be pulled up tightly against the lower periphery of the axles, thus effecting a very snug connection between the various parts.

Having thus described my invention:

hat I claim is:

1. A wagon comprising an axle, a sub,- stantially V-shaped frame member pierced by and supported upon said axle, a bearing plate secured to said frame member and having notched legs engaging said axle, a bolster connected to the wagon body and resting upon said bearing plate, a front brace extending from the wagon body to the frame member, and a second brace extending from the wagon body to a point between the bearing plate and the bolster and a king bolt connected to the wagon body and passing through the upper end of the first men tioned brace through the bolster and thence through the lower end of the second brace and through the bearing plate.

2. A wagon comprising an axle, a frame member supported by said axle, a bearing plate having notched legs and a depending flange, the notched'legs engaging over the axle and the flange being secured to the frame member, a bolster secured to the wagon body and resting upon said bearing plate, and means for pivotally connecting the bearing plate to the bolster.

3.'A wagon comprising an axle, legs secured to and depending from the wagon body and provided with axle engaging portions, straps secured to the body portion adapted to extend beneath the axle, and means on the axle engaging portions of said legs cooperating with means on said straps for securing said legs and straps in rigid interlocking engagement with each other.

4. A wagon comprising an axle, legs secured to and depending from the wagon body and provided with curved end portions adapted to seat upon and partially receive the axle, straps secured to the wagon body provided with curvedapertured ends extending beneath and partially around the axle, the end portions of the said legs having reduced extensions passing through the said apertures and locking said legs and straps to said axle.

5. A wagon comprising an axle, legs socured to and depending from the wagon body and provided with axle engaging portions, straps secured to the body portion, and means on the axle engaging portions of said legs cooperating with means on said straps for rigidly clamping said legs and said straps to said axle.

6. A wagon comprising an axle, a frame member supported by said axle, said frame member comprising a transverse bar, a bearing plate having notched legs and a depending flange, the notched legs engaging over the axle and the flange engaging behind and being secured to the transverse bar of said frame member, a bolster secured to the wagon body and resting upon said bearing plate, and means pivotally connecting the bearing plate to the bolster.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signa ture in presence of two witnesses.
